I had this idea to tilt the camera up. See a bit more of the air above their heads. It felt very good. They looked a bit lost in space. It felt expressive, interesting. So we started shooting like that, and then we couldn’t stop. Every now and again you see these strange shots where everything happens at the bottom of the frame, which was all great until the question of subtitling reared its ugly head!" <br /><br />The full interview is <a href="http://filmmakermagazine.com/85840-ida/#.VZ20h0bGMbA" rel="nofollow">here</a>. More on his techniques and ideas in it, and he's got some interesting things to say about his personal life.Mariannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774681833222176907.post-36416034882337993082015-06-21T18:33:07.216-05:002015-06-21T18:33:07.216-05:00I have seen it just once and I did not notice the ...I have seen it just once and I did not notice the picture of the Holy Family.

I would very much like to see it again. What do you think of the director's decision to put his characters in the bottom of the frame? It's clearly very unusual, and I think he must be trying to convey something by it.Craighttp://cburrell.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774681833222176907.post-15450112058806374102015-06-20T20:51:32.295-05:002015-06-20T20:51:32.295-05:00I certainly will watch it.
